Greens accused of helping Africans starve ...were i the person in charge at this newspaper, the misleading headline would be changed to read: "greens helping africans starve."
maybe. i might also think that the misleading headline promotes good policy by deflecting criticism from (and therefore any possibility of meaningful change by) the greens.

They have also told Zambian and other African leaders that it could endanger the health of those who eat it.Well, once they starve to death, that will no longer endanger their health.

It is best to eat greens. Some take more sauce than others...

Nice catch. Kinda shows how compassionate the eco lefties really are.

It's safe to say Mr. Natsios isn't going to be with the UN much longer. He spoke the truth about the watermelons in charge.

I can't remember which one, there have been so many "starving" African events, but I remember reading that the potatos we sent were refused because they were not properly bagged.
I think we should keep our corn at home and give it to someone who will appreciate it.
